The
Navy Physical Fitness Test consists of push-ups, curl-ups (sit-ups),
and either running or swimming. In basic training, swimming is not an
option. All boot camp recruits are measured by performing push-ups, curl-ups
(sit-ups) and
running 1 1/2 miles.

PRT SCORING. The
Navy PFT score is determined by averaging the scores of the three fitness
events.

For example,
let's say a 25 year old female does 91 curl-ups (sit ups), 26 push-ups,
and completes the 1.5 mile run in 15:23. Looking at the female
age 25-29 chart, we see that is worth 85 points for the curl-ups,
65 points for the push ups, and 55 points for the running event.

To find
the average, we add the scores together, then divide by 3. 85 + 65
+ 55 = 205. 205/3 = 68. This sailor would receive a PRT score of 68,
which we can see on the below chart is categorized as "Good (Medium)."

To graduate
boot camp, a sailor needs an overall category of "Good (Low)," which
means their average in three events must be 60 points or greater.

After boot
camp, to pass the periodic Navy fitness test, a sailor needs to be
in the Satisfactory (Medium) category, or above, which means they must
have an average score of at least 50.
